Klaus or Claus Ogermann 1930 – 2016 was a German arranger, conductor, and composer who worked with Jobim, Sinatra, Streisand, Diana Krall, George Benson and very many others. His style owes a lot to Debussy, Ravel and others of that school, but his choice was to work in popular music, to which he brought a sophistication not easily found in popular arrangements. And also jazz, where he stands alongside Gil Evans though in a different way and without quite Evans' genius in his Miles Davis collaborations.
I'm a huge fan and here are some examples of his work:
with Bill Evans
George Benson - Breezin
with Danilo Perez
with Jan Akkerman
with Barbra Streisand
"Nightwings" with Jean-Yves Thibaudet
& Yue Deng
with Freddy Hubbard
with Jobim
